Description
The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit (MMBCC-F80-15CBS) is purpose-built for the S55-powered BMW M3 and M4, tackling the turbocharged blow-by that came standard once BMW’s compact M cars went forced-induction in 2015. Built around Mishimoto’s patent-pending 2-Port Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can, this kit pairs a 50-micron bronze filter and internal baffle with a CNC-machined lid sized to match the factory CCV hose, so oil separation happens right where the crankcase vapors exit the engine.
As one of the more sought-after car engine parts among S55 owners, a baffled oil catch can addresses a problem inherent to many car engines that vent crankcase vapor back into the intake: oil droplets and contaminated fuel vapor riding along with that air. Mishimoto’s catch can is unheated, unlike many air-oil-separator systems, which allows low-octane oil vapor and contaminated fuel vapor to fully condense and stay trapped in the can rather than draining back into the oil pan. For anyone comparing components of an automobile engine that protect the intercooler, intake tract, and VANOS system, this catch can helps keep those parts of a car engine cleaner while helping maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is a direct fit for the S55-powered F80/F82/F83/F87 chassis: the 2015-2018 BMW M3, the 2015-2020 BMW M4 (including the 2016 M4 GTS and the 2018-2020 M4 CS), and the 2019-2020 BMW M2 Competition. The included direct-fit hoses and application-specific billet aluminum mounting bracket require no modification to the engine cover and locate the can in a serviceable position.
